Random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting was performed on single females of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., using a new procedure for DNA isolation. One-fourth of the total DNA amount isolated from a single female proved to be sufficient as a template in a polymerase chain reaction. Electrophoretic patterns of the amplified fragments were reproducible between replicates from a single female or sister females from the same progeny, and identical to those obtained with genomic DNA purified from a large number of nematodes. Moreover, a comparative analysis over three successive generations showed stability of the amplification patterns, thus demonstrating the utility of this procedure for epidemiological and ecological studies on root-knot nematodes.
